Unlike most, you don't miss a thing ~ Jack / Marr

Slowly the desperate look vanishes from his face and before he takes Kys hand he goes fishing..but for what. I'm shivering and desperately want to get out of the cold water but he keeps fumbling around under the surface just to produce his shades and put the soaking things back on.
"Og you're such a cool rat."
I shake my head and after pulling him to his feet make my way to the shore where I shake body like a dog would shake his furr, then stick my finger in my ear to get the water out.
The sun rays might be nice and warm but with my soaked clothes and the wind I can't feel them too much.

"I didn't bring any spares." He remarks and seems to be in pretty good humor considering I just dunked him in.
"Me neither."

"Kya's the only one dry. Matt, I think you should change that." I shake my head with a laugh. "Later."
Then I add. "No, she's got that sore arm, can't get the cast wet." Here's me being protective and nice to a girl for a change.

I start pulling my soaked hoodie that clings to me like a second or third skin over my head. Oh the movement is uncomfortable especially because the darn thing is so clingy.
Finally it comes off and lands on the next bush to dry at least a little.
Then my shirt follows suit before I start undoing my pants.
"Don't worry, my boxers aren't going anywhere." I assure mostly Tyren, who sees me on a daily basis in my underwear and vice versa.
Then I let the sunrays warm my shoulders.

Tyren follows my example and rids himself of the cold, wet clothes except for his pants.
"Such a shame." he comment when I keep my boxers on.
"I know, man, I know but you'll just have to wait." I shake my head with a smirk and check Kyanite's expression winking at her.
"Don't be shy." I tell him while motioning for his pants. "I assure you she's seen naked legs before."
He stands as if he's about to flex his muscles and sure enough he remarks.
"Been slacking, mate?"
I know he's joking because even after injuries I could still take him on without a problem, which our spar proved.
The only weak spot is still my arm that had been broken a few months back during the pregames and isn't as strong as it was before.
I lift my arm sticking my chest out.
"You wanna say that again? I'm sure I can find another puddle to push you into."
I hope he knows I'm joking. He didn't offend me in the slightest.

Once all clothes except for my boxers are off and I can dry in the sun I sit down on the grass. Unfortunatley the sun isn't half as strong as it's supposed to be and I can't rid myself of the chills so I tell Kyanite to come over to warm me. "Lend me a hand, will ya?"

OOC: No shirt contest? LOL

The water has to be the most relaxing thing ever. The moment I stepped into the chilly temperatured liquid, it sends this ultimate chilld up and down my spine. All of the nerve endings screaming out to each part of my body, pulling needed heat to where the cold was. Even though the reaction is a little bit of a memory trigger, it's nothing but peaceful. I can hear Tyren and Matthew talking from behind me but my world is suddenly absorbed into the sand under my toes. Everyting around me just seems to disappear and instead of worrying about what's going on with my daily life, I actually get a chance to appriciate the little things that I normally don't get to enjoy.

Sand.

Nature.

Water.

All three together is a healing remedy for the most part. It's refreshing and as I get to glance toward the land, I see Matthew sitting there and I just can't beleive that once again, we are together. It almost seems surreal to have him sitting on the beach, his eyes following me for a moment when I pass him a happy grin and let my hand move through my hair and pull it to one side. There's only a tiny breeze, but it's enough that it makes a few strands move infront of my eyes so that I have to constantly be attentative to remove it for my vision.

A sigh.

A grin.

It's nothing but a wonderful day here and even though, I want nothing more than to go back on land to let my fingers encircle lines on Matthew's back, right now, I wouldn't mind for him to join me. All of that is dashed when I want to call out only to see another newcomer to the lakeshore. Who is it?

Who can that be? Alex? How on earth did he find us down here? Did Tyren? I turn my attention away from them once I see their conversations coming along. No need in interrupting them right? Guy talk? Not for me. I wouldn't know what to say to a group of guys. One guy, yes. Two is pushing it but it doesn't bother me because it's Tyren, but Alex? I hardly know the guy, but just enough that a few words had been said to him at the party. It makes me wonder if Tyren and Alex still like their gifts, but I'm too modest to really ask about that cause I don't want it to seem as though I'm expecting more thanks or appriciation. If Alex is wearing it, that would be thanks enough. However, from this distance, I can't tell if he's wearing it or not.

I take another step deeper into the water. With each step, the depth is increasing causing the water to move up to just above my knee. From behind me, I hear Matthew's voice which makes me turn around to see what the commotion is about.

"Ky, are you growing fins yet? The guys here are admiring you." I surpress a chuckle, putting a hand over my mouth and walking backwards a few steps.

"No, why? Do they think I am a mermaid or something?" I take another step backwards but a dip in the water has me suddenly a foot more under the water, making the depth increase to cover my stomach, Instantly, I let out an unexpected sound of surprise and catch myself before making a splash. My heart jumps into my throat for a moment. A second later, laughter does ring out from me as I move slowly to get out of the dip that I had fallen into.

"Okay. I'm done." I make the note to myself and probably loud enough for them to hear as well as I trudge out of the water, a little more wet than I had intended. Now, I'm about as chilled as Tyren and Matthew when they took their unexpected swim. "So... sorry Tyren. If I had known the water w... was that cold, I wouldn't have had Matthew tackle you."

I can't help the shivering, but I try to make myself look as though it didn't bother me. I've been in colder water before and colder temperatures. This should be nothing, but it's still enough to make me want to grab some form of blanket. My vision sets on Matthew though. "Care to pay back the favor Matthew?" I ask him and give a solid nod and grin to Alex. I"m not sure why, but having someone admire me is a little unsettling around Matthew. So I sit next to Matthew on the dry grass.
